A lovely, truly sweet rom-com-dram(a). Also a tad long and a bit cliché, I still found it to be above average, particularly the banter/language used throughout. Nicely '90s. 7/10.
Movie buffs drawn to like multi-genre fare may find Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011), One Day (2011), Run, Fatboy, Run (2007), Love & Other Drugs (2010), Up in the Air (2007), The Big Sick (2017), As Good As It Gets (1997), Young Adult (2011), The Rebound (2009), Corrina, Corrina (1994), Next Stop Wonderland (1998), Brown Sugar (2002), The Graduate (1967), The Birdcage (1996), I Love You Phillip Morris (2009), You, Me and Him (2017), En kort en lang/Shake It All About (2001), the classic Love Actually (2003) or About Time (2013) worth their time as well/instead. Or heck, even The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) probably applies...if you don't mind topping off your romantic tragicomedy salad with a few dashes of blood.
Fans of Shaun of the Dead (2004), Warm Bodies (2013), or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016), I know you feel me. ;)

With this episode those interested in Princess are rewarded with a captivating character study of someone who's been a trauma survivor longer than most. Paola Lázaro is fantastic, and the post-season 8 dialogue continues to improve. It's a little more natural, the anecdotes more focused.
If you're a fan who's done with new characters, you can likely skip this one without missing a beat.
I thought I was done with new characters, too -- as well as old characters I still consider new even though they've been around for 5+ seasons, lol -- at least until Connie was introduced, but "Splinter" has more than reaffirmed my and others' initial investment in Princess. I look forward to following her journey as we follow the show to its conclusion.
And honestly, I think if you're a trauma survivor yourself, you'll appreciate this episode more than most. Having struggled with PTSD myself, I'm of the opinion that the show's articulation of the disorder continues to get better and better.
9/10 -- does not deserve such a low rating, let alone an average one.
